Biofilm-related research using 96-well microtiter plates involves static incubation of plates indiscriminate of environmental conditions, making oxygen availability an important variable which has not been considered to ...
In this article, Ritz’s method is used to calculate with unprecedented accuracy the displacements related to a deformable rectangular plate resting on the surface of an elastic quarter-space. To achieve this required three ...
The positivity preserving property for the biharmonic operator with Dirichlet boundary condition is investigated. We discuss here the case where the domain is an ellipse (that may degenerate to a strip) and the data is ...
Ubiquitous motion sensors in shoes and clothing are becoming more prevalent. This new data stream opens a large opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of human movement. This paper describes the development and validation ...
The determination of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of structures requires an analytical, semi-analytical or numerical method. This paper presents a new semi-analytical approach to determine natural frequencies ...
Holography has been of increasing interest in recent years, with developments in many areas such as data storage and metrology. Photopolymer materials provide potentially good materials for holographic recording, as they ...
Traffic loading crossing a bridge is simulated to analyse the correlation between the worst static
and dynamic load case. The worst static cases are obtained through a Monte-Carlo simulation
using weigh-in-motion (WIM) ...
Simple numerical models of point loads are used to represent single and multiple vehicle events on two-lane bridges with a good road profile. While such models are insufficiently complex to calculate dynamic amplification ...
This work gives a semi-analytical approach for the dynamic analysis of beams and plates rest-ing on an elastic half-space with inertial properties. Such calculations have been associated with significant mathematical ...
